My last guitar purchase of 2007

[blazer]

Well then, this will probably my last guitar purchase in 2007. I went to my local shop with the intention of getting a few parts when the guy goes. "You interrested in a project guitar I lost interrest in finishing?" Before handing me THIS...

This Limited Edition Les Paul Custom was bought by a customer who couldn't make up his mind, he had the mechanics of the Bigsby removed played it for two weeks before returning it to the store to trade it in for a sunburst Les Paul stating that he liked Sunburst better.

All it really needs is a new Bigsby but I think I'll leave it the way it is, it plays perfectly normal and I like the way the Bigsby tail looks and there's no arm that gets in the way when I reach for the pots.
